Looks good to me. I'd have separated SVG cliparts from core lshw package,
though: they're only used by lshw-gui.

You are correct about the license: it is still GPLv2 (I still have no firm
stance on GPLv3 so I decided to stick to a well-known and well-accepted license
for now).

Another useful trick w/ GUI could be an integration with Fedora's consolehelper
(as lshw must be run as root to report anything useful)
